Boot camps for young offenders are back – the psychological evidence they don’t work never went away Evidence shows the links between punishment, discipline and behaviour change are weak at best. Good rehabilitation has a therapeutic focus – but this is less popular with politicians and the public.

Just announced today: #Qldgov has decided to reopen the #BootCamp programs - and include those who have NOT broken any laws. Premier David Crisafulli laughs & mentions a “digital detox”

How about #therapy? giving #familysupport rather than punishment? #reducingpoverty?
